Setting off in our kayak to explore the pristine waters of #LakeCootharaba near #Noosa. The natural environment is our favourite classroom setting and this place is just perfect for outdoor excursions and new discoveries.

I'm back after an amazing kid-free getaway to paradise for four days! I've been hanging out with an incredibly talented bunch of @queensland creators at @elysianretreat in the beautiful Whitsundays! It's been a long time since I got away by myself and had a chance to chase my dreams and to immerse myself completely in the wonderful world of photography. I'm thankful to have such a supportive partner in @littleearthstories who has encouraged me at every step of my journey over the past few years. Whilst I love my little family dearly, I've recognised how important it is for me to have a purpose beyond full-time parenting, home schooling and domestic duties. This trip did wonders for my self-esteem and confidence, and was a wonderful opportunity to truly unwind and relax. I met some amazing people, learnt much and laughed often. It was also a wonderful opportunity for Sam to spend some quality time with our boys and they had a wonderful time hanging out together in Airlie Beach. As the full-time wage earner in our family, Sam misses out on a lot of our daily experiences with the kids as we travel. We're currently talking a lot about finding the right balance between family and work and personal time for creativity and good health. And we hope to find a better balance for both of us in the coming months. Here's some pictures from my Whitsundays getaway!

A nice spot for lunch and a snooze in Ingham the other day. It was also a short walk through the wetlands here to an early voting centre!

The magical Millaa Millaa Falls in Tropical North

The magical Millaa Millaa Falls in Tropical North Queensland. What a beautiful place. It should be noted that our view from the bus window required a little bit of work. We took a chance in the bus and followed the 'bus parking' signs down a narrow steep road... only to find there was no room to turn around 19 metres of bus and trailer (and the bus parking area was also filled with cars). We had to unload the car off the trailer, unhitch the trailer, turn the trailer around with the car, make a 37 point turn with the bus, hook the trailer back up and reload the car! A slow process but when you're in no hurry, it doesn't really matter! A great day exploring the Atherton Tablelands!

Cruising along the stunning coastal road between Port Douglas and Cairns over the weekend. We stopped to take in the view at Rex Lookout. What an amazing view!

Looking forward to welcoming this one home tomorrow. Sam has been away for the past few weeks, visiting her parents in rural Victoria and now undertaking hotel quarantine in Brisbane. Tomorrow she will fly to Cairns to be reunited with us and we can hardly wait!

Under the stars in our house on wheels. A Friday flashback to our recent outback adventures. This was free camping between Boulia and Bedourie one night.

Bowen turning on the goods. The view from Rotary Lookout at Horseshoe Bay is simply breathtaking. That's Gloucester Island in the distance. Our planned one night in Bowen quickly turned into three. What a beautiful seaside destination.

Our home for the past ten days... The beautiful Haliday Bay near #CapeHillsborough. After seven months plodding around in the outback, it was so lovely to make this place our very first beach stop. Can you see Bronte the bus? That's her on the far left of this picture. What a terrific spot!

The Queensland outback was everything I'd hoped it

The Queensland outback was everything I'd hoped it would be and more. The harsh and rugged landscapes, the wide open spaces and endless horizons, the solitude, the peacefulness, the colours, the stars, the dust, even the flies... I just loved everything about #outbackqueensland!

Jedi training has been in full swing around here lately. Sunset walks have become a gruelling workout with lightsabers for the boys! 😄 Here they are at Lake Maraboon near Emerald. We spent a few nights here on our way to Carnarvon Gorge.

One of the many creek crossings that we encountered on our daily bushwalks at #CarnarvonGorge. We're so proud of this intrepid six year old boy (and his older brother) for successfully tackling all of the walking tracks at Carnarvon Gorge. We walked over 50km in five days, including a big 20km walk in one day. This national park is on Bidjara and Karingbal country. It is a very special place to experience and see. ~ Keiran.

We said farewell to #CarnarvonGorge today, after a blissful eight days offline in this spectacular place. We bushwalked in the national park every day (even completing the 20km day walk to Big Bend and Cathedral Cave). We saw platypuses, pretty-faced wallabies and echidnas. And we enjoyed some much needed downtime from social media!

Dusk at Lake Maraboon near #Emerald a few days ago. After six months happily plodding around in the outback, we've crossed the Great Dividing Range and are slowly heading towards the coast. We spent a week camped here near Emerald and are now making our way towards Carnarvon Gorge. Sam has a week of leave booked, so we are all looking forward to some downtime and serious bushwalking adventures!

Ticking off life goals with a visit to the Betoota

Ticking off life goals with a visit to the Betoota pub. I gave the beers away years ago but enjoyed a nice cold soft drink on the verandah of this iconic hotel. It reopened six weeks ago with a new owner, after being closed for a long while when the previous owner passed away. An interesting stop on the long gravel road between Birdsville and Windorah.

After the rain. Sunset in Birdsville a couple of weeks ago. We loved our time camped on the outskirts of this fascinating place.
